LISZ is the working desk for the person who runs someone else's life: estate managers, executive and personal assistants, chiefs of staff, family-office hands. Your principal says six things in one breath. LISZ catches all six, works out what each one is - a task, a trip, a property job, a person to call, a receipt - and files it in the right world. You review before anything lands. Then it hands the work back at the moment it matters. ONE WORLD PER PRINCIPAL Every principal, family or property is its own world. Switch into it and the whole app follows: tasks, travel, residences, staff and vendors, documents, spend. Switch to All and see everything at once. CAPTURE FIRST, SORT LATER Brain Dump takes anything: type it, dictate it, paste a booking confirmation, scan a receipt, record a meeting. Say it once; LISZ splits it, sorts it and files it. THE WORK YOU ACTUALLY RUN Trips with day-by-day itineraries, departure readiness and packing. Properties with vendors, systems, records and upkeep. People with the role each one plays for each principal, linked to your phone's contacts. Receipts and expenses with budgets that warn you before you cross them. Tasks that know when they are waiting on someone else. TODAY, AND ONLY TODAY One screen answers the question that matters at 8am: what needs me in the next twenty-four hours. YOUR CALENDAR, NOT A COPY OF IT LISZ reads the calendars you point it at to find free windows, and writes back only the events you confirm, only to the calendar you chose. PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION No account. No login. No servers of ours. Your principals' data lives on your device and syncs through your own iCloud, encrypted by Apple, invisible to us. No analytics, no ads, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. Discretion is the job; LISZ is built the same way. ALSO FOR YOUR OWN LIFE Running only your own life? My Life is a world like any other, and the vocabulary switch in Settings speaks Projects, Locations and Gigs instead. PRICING - Free: everything in My Life, with one property and one active trip. - LISZ Personal: My Life without limits. $4.99 a month or $49 a year. - LISZ Pro: add your principals and clients, without limits. $69 a month or $699 a year. Nothing is ever locked away: if a subscription ends, everything you entered stays visible, editable and exportable. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LISZ at 5.0 against Final Draft Go's 4.0. LISZ also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). Final Draft Go's advantage is ratings volume (1.7K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Final Draft Go sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and LISZ sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
LISZ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Final Draft Go has 1.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Final Draft Go ships an update every 5 weeks, LISZ every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
